Assessing Fractional Cover in the Alpine Treeline Ecotone Using the WSL Monoplotting Tool and Airborne Lidar

As forest cover in mountain areas impacts headwater properties like habitat extent and downstream water resources, it is important to assess and understand the changes that occur across forest transition zones like the alpine treeline ecotone (ATE). Such changes occur slowly and manifest at decadal...
